She s a very affectionate girl
That s all she knows how to be
She loves beyond all reason
And I hold her like a thief
With a vengeance she embraces me
And tonight vengeance is mine
But I swear she is no plaything
She is precious in God s sight
She s a very affectionate girl
The way she holds my hand
Like she can feel every drop of water
And every grain of sand
And she just wants me to lead her
And she doesn t care how far
She d buy any line I d feed her
Like it was written in the stars

She s a very affectionate girl

(The rest of the lyrics, following the above pattern:)
She s a very affectionate girl
When her fingers touch my lips
And she tells me not to worry
To consider this a gift
It s beyond a point of honor
It is more than I should take
For it was not the law of averages
That made her heart that way
She s a very affectionate girl
She s a very affectionate girl
And she comes as a surprise
In this age of broken promises
And so many poisoned lives
Where people keep their distance
And keep their hands to themselves
She says she only wants to kiss me
And that is something she does well
She s a very affectionate girl
